Contact your BIOS vendor. MADT: ACPI Startup failed with AE_ERROR Try disabling either ACPI or apic support. panic: using MADT but ACPI doesn't work Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort Booting with ACPI disabled works ok, so no big deal I take it the "blacklist" warning means that this hardware's ACPI just isn't supported currently? And what does the "contact your BIOS vendor" message mean? Is this something that can be fixed by upgrading firmware/BIOS? Thanks -John
